| Sometimes pictures tell the story of our lives... More pictures of our past, at som eof the most important people in our lives...I found these pictures, along with many others, in a box of pictures while sorting through my stuff after moving. Each picture has its own story. |
| More Past Pictures Melody's Circle of Life |
| Melissa, Stevie and Jeremy. 1987. My happy children. |
| Late 1992 -- Stevie, Melissa and Jeremy with their baby Megan. Megan is wearing the "kitty" dress the kids picked out for her to wear home from the hospital. Even though Megan weighed over 9 pounds at birth, she swam in her s(6 month old" dress, which she had to wear home...it didn't take her too long to grow into that cute little dress. |
| Me with the kids, Melissa, Jeremy and Stephen -- late 1987. I workedf for the State of Oregon -- what the heck had I done to my hair? The kids always said that Jeremy looked just like me when he was little... what do you think? |
| Jeremy, Stephen and Melissa, July 1986 in Siletz, Oregon at an Indian Pow Wow my Mom took us to. |
| (1987-1988) Stevie (on the right) and his cub scout friends say the cub scout preamble which is serious business, but as you can see, even Stevie knows who the real boss is -- Melissa! (who participated in all cub scouts activities for many years and learned everything right along with the boys.) Den 3 met at our place for a while, and I was actually a "co-den leader," believe it or not! |
| Melissa and Jeremy on Steve Parker's boat on the Yaquina Bay (Summer 1987). People used to think they were twins |
| A wonderfully rare picture of my Mother sitting at the kitchen table of her vast apartment in Newport, Oregon pointing at my brother Michael because he and I have been giving each other a hard time since we were kids, and still do to this day. The year is 1987, 20 years ago. I was 30. |
| Me, bro Michael and Mom -- If I remember correctly, it's Thanksgiving 1987 when I informed my brother that I had spit in the mashed potatoes (of course I hadn't). But he still wouldn't touch the stuff. My kids ate at their very own little table and chairs Mom had set up for them. It was a perfect Thanksgiving dinner, as usual, with my Mom. She had a lovely 30th birthday party for me and two of my closest friends, Pam and Shirley, in this same kitchen. Good times! |
| Jeremy, Stevie and Melissa -- holding baby Megan just a couple of days after I brought her home from the hospital. In front of our house on Krystie Court in Keizer, Oregon. |
| Early 1987 -- Me with Stevie, Jeremy & Melissa at Jump Off Joe's in Newport, Oregon. We lived close to Jump Off Joe's for a couple of years. |
| My Mom plays a witch in a play, a variation of the Wizard of Oz, in West Salem, Oregon (around 1991 I think) She always loved to play the "villian" in plays -- she said it was a lot more fun! |
| 1977 in Chitwood, Oregon -- Joyce (my sister's close friend) me (with short hair, how weird), Mom, Jennifer and Maureen Doherty. We'd traveled to Oregon for Jennifer's high school graduation from Newport High |
| In Germany, 1985, 86 -- Melissa helps Jeremy with his new bike. |
| Me in Germany "partying" with my friends, Judy, Jennifer and random dude I don't know...around 1986 |
| Melissa and Jeremy in Germany -- Jeremy was already running before he was a year old! He's been running ever since. |
| Jeremy, Stevie and Melissa (around 1991 or 1992 in Salem, Oregon) right after a Cub Scout Jamboree -- Melissa took part in it even though she wasn't a cub scout and even won some kind of ward (see the sticker she's wearing) |
| Jeremy was a cute little clown (left) and Jeremy holding "baby Megan" in 1992-93 |
| Wasn't Melissa cute? (around 1986 in Germany) |
| Megan at a year old -- what a cute Christmas present! (Dec. 1993) |
| Me, Alisha and Megan in Mountain View, CA -- around 1997 or 1998 |
| Megan looking patriotic in her spring school picture, 2001 and Megan this year right after she got her braces taken off! |
